the newly revamped Atrium restaurant at The Landmark Bangkok.
And well, my instincts were proven right long before the food arrived.
Located on the hotel’s lobby level, the all-day dining restaurant serves
up an international fare as well as homey flavours for the daily buffet,
which can be accessed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Besides upping their culinary finesse with seven new live counters
(The Bakery, Seafood, Western, Asian, Japanese counters, and more),
the restaurant takes on a global appeal — sprinkled with classic Thai
aesthetics — that duly mirrors the inventive menu.

The steamed Salmon with lime is a delicacy served
on a bed of lightly sautéed garlic pods, which leaves
one feeling full, but not stuffed. The tender chunk
of salmon with minimal spicing lets the freshness
